Feature Video: Confidence Man & JADE - gossip
Serving five lowball glasses of scandalous hearsay, with a side of side-eyes (WHAT DID TINA SAY??), this East London lock-in is a debauched spin of the Russian-roulette wheel from director India Harris. Having worked with both artists previously; with Con Man on clips like 'Sicko' and 'Now U Do', and with Jade on 'Plastic Box', this project was a match made in the pub. 'I loved the 00's weirdo club vibe of the track so straight up I knew the video had to be some kind of bonkers narrative' says India. 'The concept sparked from the idea that a disjointed bar full of cloned versions of the same person, somehow became synchronised in a moment before descending into chaos… We went fully cinematic with a letterbox aspect ratio and played with wide-lensed, dutch angles for that pulp, 90's Tarantino vibe. Bring Jade's perfect character building into the madness of Confidence Man's world and voila!'
Confidence Man's Janet Planet and Sugar Bones, alongside JADE, all give perfectly bitchy-and-inebriated performances, almost like these were the roles they were born to play (sorry, lol), while India sets them up in all kinds of eccentric scenarios, filled with gun-barrel perspectives, cocktail-sipping, Russian-roulette showdowns, and floor-humping dance moves. The classic Con Man irony intersects with spaghetti western, Mafia and dive bar energy in a truly jam-packed three and a half minutes.
'Indi went full throttle on this one' adds Janet. 'Dramatic, sexy and dumb as all hell. Conman in our element doing what we do best. And bringing Jade into our druggy messed- up world was simply an honour.'

Ozzy Osbourne's official cause of death revealed
Ozzy Osbourne's official cause of death has been revealed after the rock icon passed away aged 76. The Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22, was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire, south eats England, home last Thursday. The legendary rocker passed away 'surrounded by love' just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with his bandmates at Villa Park in the British city of Birmingham. In recent years, Ozzy had been battling numerous health conditions, including Parkinson's. His official death certificate lists 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest' under the cause of death section, reports The Sun It also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction as 'joint causes' of Ozzy's death. The document described his occupation as a 'rock legend, songwriter and performer' in a heartwarming nod towards Ozzy. Ozzy's tragic passing comes just weeks after his final performance in his home town – where it all began. The rocker sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I'm Coming Home. He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park. After a short break, Ozzy re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years. The band performed some of their greatest hits, ending with a rendition of Paranoid. In his last ever interview, the heavy metal icon said his 'final encore' meant 'everything'. Ozzy sang with his fellow founding fathers of heavy metal while seated on an iconic black bat throne. It was the first time in two decades that the original Black Sabbath line-up have performed together. Ozzy had previously vowed that it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. Back To The Beginning also featured a mega line-up of fellow rock stars, performing their own sets and as a supergroup, and all the profits made will be going to charity. In another poignant twist, Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson at the veteran rocker's final concert. Last Thursday, an 'incredibly emotional' funeral service was held for the rocker, a family friend told The Sun. Tents were erected on the 250-acre grounds of the house Ozzy and Sharon bought in 1993, along with a stage where tributes were paid to the rocker. The home was decorated with pictures of Ozzy, and mourners were given a photograph of him to take home. 110 of the singer's nearest and dearest attended, joining his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, his son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. Stars at the service included Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica's James Hetfield, punk singer Yungblud and Sir Elton John. Rock icon Marilyn Manson flew in from the US to attend, alongside Ozzy's guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor. The day before, thousands of fans gathered in the streets of Birmingham to pay tribute to Ozzy.

‘Destroyed my life': Vladimir Putin's ‘secret daughter' slams him in cryptic post
Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged secret daughter has spoken out against her father in a cryptic post, condemning the man who 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives'. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to be the leader's youngest daughter, shared the messages on her private Telegram, in line with her increasing openness on Instagram as she's started to share more images of herself, The New York Post reported. 'It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,' she wrote, according to German magazine Bild. 'It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life.' The Telegram chat, named 'Art of Luiza', references her work pseudonym Luiza Rozova. Ms Krivonogikh didn't explicitly name Putin in either post, but has also never shot down the popular theories surrounding her true parentage. The budding artist was born in 2003 after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the President's then-housekeeper. The bombshell was first revealed after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing Ms Krivonogikh's 'phenomenal resemblance' to Putin. He isn't listed on her birth certificate, but 'Vladimirovna' was included, translating to 'daughter of Vladimir'. In 2021, slain journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny exposed Ms Krivonogikh's Instagram, which showcased her life of luxury and her family's staggering wealth that many have attributed to their connection with the country's pesident. While Ms Krivonogikh originally celebrated life in the spotlight, she retreated after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021 and her Instagram was suddenly shut down. She's since returned to the platform, but was more reserved in her posting at first, hiding her face in many photos. She's now seemingly changed her tune – and swapped sides on the devastating war after previously mourning her inability to 'make an extra lap around my beloved St Petersburg'. Ms Krivonogikh has since denounced her previous lifestyle of obscene wealth, speaking openly against her alleged father's actions in Ukraine. She also works in a Parisian art gallery that specialises in anti-war works. Ms Krivonogikh also adopted an extra pseudonym, Elizaveta Rudnova, inspired by Putin's late ally Oleg Rudnov – a cheeky stab at her elusive parentage. Still, critics of Putin haven't quite bought her reshaped image and insist that she shouldn't be working in a space where she could be interacting with Ukrainians, regardless of her stance. 'Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?' Ms Krivonogikh wrote. Putin is also rumoured to share two secret sons, a 10-year-old and a six-year-old, with his former gymnast lover and Olympic gold medallist Alina Kabaeva.

Ozzy Osbourne filed to trademark Prince of Darkness before death
Ozzy Osbourne tried to trademark his Prince of Darkness nickname before he died. The 76-year-old rocker passed away at his home in England on July 22, just weeks after his final Black Sabbath gig, and he filed documents to trademark his nickname on June 13. According to The Sun newspaper, his UK-based firm Monowise sent the application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for 'entertainment services, namely providing non-downloadable pre-recorded music via a website'. The company also sought trademark protection to sell clothes, games and accessories. A ruling has yet to be made, although a similar claim was passed previously in the UK. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that tributes left for Ozzy in his home city of Birmingham are to be taken down and given to his family. Fans had flocked to the city to pay their respects to Ozzy as flowers, keepsake items and handwritten notes were left at Black Sabbath Bridge - a spot that marks the Paranoid band's formation. The council said that the tributes will be preserved at a secure location before being passed on to Ozzy's loved ones. Ozzy's family viewed the tributes during his funeral procession in the city and said they were "deeply moved" by the affection the public had for the Prince of Darkness - who had played his final gig with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park stadium just 17 days prior to his death. A statement read: "We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days. "These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world - BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!" Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zafar Iqbal said: "We understand how important it is for the community to have a space to grieve and celebrate Ozzy's legacy. "We know fans will continue to pay their respects at the Black Sabbath Bridge and the mural on Navigation Street, as well as visiting the Ozzy exhibition."
